error on easy_install cpp-coveralls

Question

It happens to me that most of the builds are compiled correctly, but from time to time the same error appears (without changing any .travis.yml parameter)

The error is:

The command "sudo easy_install cpp-coveralls" failed and exited with 1 during .

Now my build got stucked on it when the previous builds have successfully passed this step without problems.

This is the failing build: https://travis-ci.org/pubnative/pubnative-ios-library/builds/49482893
This is the repo: https://travis-ci.org/pubnative/pubnative-ios-library/

Why is it so randomly failing?

try pip install cpp-coveralls --user `whoami`

edit:

pip install cpp-coveralls is the way to install package on python (instead of easy_install)
--user `whoami` is to install it without sudo, in a Travis container (like OP is doing)

Please explain what this does, and why OP should use it. – vonbrand Sep 01 '15 at 00:17

Just went through this yesterday. I've attached a simplified version of the .travis.yml file I use for my project.

before_install:
  - pip install --user cpp-coveralls

after_success:
  - '$([ "$TRAVIS_OS_NAME" == "osx" ] && echo ~/Library/Python/2.7 || echo ~/.local)/bin/cpp-coveralls --gcov-options "\-lp"'

pip install cpp-coveralls --user

is indeed the correct way to do it, but where it ends up required a bit (a lot?) of research. The answer was simple, but incredibly un-documented.

I agree with you, It required a lot of research in order to make this work. It worked at the end. — David Martin, Dec 07 '15 at 17:17
